You can feel them with what ever you want. We usually make some of cheese and ham for the children. Fish ones are very popular during easter season, specially with tuna. Poultry ones, also very popular.

For veggies, you can also try corn. Corn empanadas have a special name, they are “empanadas de humita”. Humita is an native southamerican name for some corn based recipes.

The most traditional are the meat ones. The filling I made for those has onions, chives (very important), cumin (it gives the smell that empanadas have here), oregano, red peper (not much), salt and meat.

We also make sweet ones, with “dulce de batata” or “dulce de membrillo”.

If you know spanish, try searching argentinian pages for more fillings.
